  1. same as the rear, with the plastic pipe as spacers and lock rings to retain the assembly. I'll see if I can get my father to send me a pic of it.
  2. the list of individuals that have managed to break an 8.8 shaft is very small indeed. :D
  3. I full on Golden Eagle paint scheme would be totally retro and might work :D
  4. what kind of info are you looking for? I think the build date is on the door sticker.
  5. what's the width and wheel bolt pattern?
  6. I bet that was a fun toy :D

    Oh My Gawd

    sorta. rust likes to hide and propagate under the frame stiffener thingy. :(
  8. Yes it is 2" of tire but you only gain 1" of ground clearance. For a DD I would go 33's, especially with only 4.10 gears. :yeah that: to me the extra inch wasn't worth the hassles.
  9. either I didn't get stuck, or I was going to be stuck regardless of the extra 1 inch of tire lift. besides, more tire equals more headaches (mpgs, breakage, wear, fender stuffage, etc).
  10. got 33s under my 88 (4.0/stick/4.10s/6"lift) and not once while wheeling have I ever wished I had 35s. :dunno:
  11. yes I have. it was a royal pain in the butt. :( but it is possible :thumbsup:
  12. I feel your pain since I'm kinda in the same boat. just can't take them all with me for this move to GA. though I am trying hard to bring my low mile renix block... I say keep the 4.0, unload the rest. :thumbsup:

  14. I don't think this one is going to get the full resto... :(
  15. it can be eliminated, but those wires still need to be connected. :yes: the computer puts a full 12 volts directly to the fuel pump at startup and then a couple seconds later switches power to route through the resistor which cuts the volts which lowers the speed of the pump which lowers the noise.

  17. I'm not apposed to the concept, but the execution always seems to be poor. :(

  21. cool! well, then the bed and cab have a lot less of the separate movement than other trucks do, but it's not 0.
  22. within the same year/model, the AX-4 and AX-5 are identical in every way except for the 5th gear. and a 5 added to the stickshift knob :D
